Introducing the all-new 2020 Subaru Outback.Go where love takes you.

The all-new, most adventurous, most reliable, safest and best Subaru Outback ever is coming this Fall. The 2020 Outback features standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with up to 33 MPG[1]. With upgrades to safety, capability, comfort and technology — including a new, tablet-sized high-resolution touchscreen interface — the all-new, most advanced Outback now offers Subaru DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System[2] for the first time ever. And it’s still designed to be the long-lasting and dependable adventure companion you love, with 98% of Outback vehicles sold in the last 10 years still on the road today[3].

Direct-Injection Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® Engine

The Onyx Edition XT features a 260-horsepower direct-injection Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine delivering 277 pound-feet of torque for thrilling daily driving while still reaching up to 30 MPG highway. And with 3,500 pounds of towing capacity — more than ever before — you can bring all the gear and equipment you need for the perfect vacation road trip or cargo run across town.

Water-Repellant StarTex® Interior

The Onyx Edition XT cabin surrounds you in StarTex® upholstery that’s water-repellant and hard-wearing to stand up to the most rugged expeditions.

Outfitted for Adventure

The Onyx Edition XT is packed with standard features to make every trip easier and more enjoyable. A 180-Degree Front View Monitor lets you doublecheck that the path ahead is clear. And with a full-size spare tire, even your most off-the-map journey won’t be derailed.

Go Everywhere Capabilities

The 2020 Outback gives you the all-weather, go-anywhere capability of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive while still delivering on efficiency. The standard direct-injection SUBARU BOXER® engine is more powerful — it now delivers 182 horsepower — and more advanced, with new Auto Start-Stop Technology for even better mileage around town. Paired with a Lineartronic® CVT, it can reach up to 33 MPG highway and over 600 miles of range[4].

8.7 Inches of Ground Clearance and X-MODE®

With 8.7 inches of ground clearance and standard X-MODE®, the 2020 Outback can take you almost anywhere. X-MODE® works by optimizing the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system for maximum traction on slippery surfaces and Hill Descent Control gives you extra stability and confidence when descending more difficult grades. A new dual-function X-MODE® with settings for snow, dirt, and mud is also available on the Onyx XT model.

Standard Raised Roof Rails with Enhanced Tie-Downs

Standard roof rails with integrated crossbars provide additional cargo-carrying versatility for equipment like kayaks, bikes, skis, and cargo carriers and can fold away when not in use. The enhanced tie-downs on the 2020 Outback give you even more flexibility and make it easier to rack and unrack your cargo.

Secure and Protected

Standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology

The 2020 Outback features standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology with automatic Pre-Collision Braking. It also includes all-new Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering[5], which can take some of the stress out of driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control.

Subaru DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System

New for the 2020 Outback, the Subaru DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System is like having an attentive co-pilot along for the ride. This advanced system is available to give a helpful alert if a driver becomes distracted or drowsy and, for added convenience, it can also recognize up to five different drivers, remembering their preferences, like seat position, climate settings, and outside mirror position.

All-Around Awareness

The 2020 Outback features an entire suite of available safety technologies to help protect you and your passengers. The Blind-Spot Detection[6] system warns you with a visual indicator in each side mirror if it senses a vehicle in your blind spots. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert[6] helps warn you of traffic approaching from the side as you are backing up, and a standard Rear-Vision Camera enhances visibility when reversing. And with available Reverse Automatic Braking, your vehicle can even stop itself to help avoid objects behind you[7].

Updated SUBARU STARLINK™ Safety and Security

Whether you're on the road, at your computer, or on your mobile device, a subscription to STARLINK Safety and Security[8] can help keep you and your Outback safe. Advanced Automatic Collision Notification will alert an operator in the event of an accident. SOS Emergency Assistance can get you roadside help at the push of a button. Plus, there are convenience features to make driving even more enjoyable, like Remote Engine Start with Climate Control, accessible via your smartphone[9], customizable vehicle alerts, and STARLINK Concierge services.

Versatile and Comfortable

The Most Comfortable Outback Interior Ever

The 2020 Outback interior is completely redesigned, delivering extra comfort with high-quality soft-touch materials, premium trim, and contrast stitching throughout the cabin. Available soft, genuine Nappa Leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats and steering wheel provide a more premium experience than ever before. In the dash, an all-new 11.6-inch STARLINK Multimedia touchscreen is available with features like standard Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto integration.

Even More Cargo Room

Even full of passengers, the 2020 Outback still gives you 37.1 cubic feet of cargo space. And the available cargo area release levers make it even easier to fold the rear seats down, giving you up to 75.7 cubic feet of volume to haul more gear. Plus, a hands-free Power Rear Gate is available to allow automatic opening even when your arms are full, and for added convenience, a single touch on the gate button lets it close and lock the entire vehicle.

Built-In Wi-Fi Hotspot Connectivity

With built-in Wi-Fi capability, all your passengers can be entertained on every trip, streaming and sharing their favorite content online using the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot[10]. From the moment you start your Outback, up to eight devices can connect. Then everyone can easily stream their TV shows, movies, and music, or play games, check email, and much more.

Premium Audio

The Harman Kardon premium audio system captures detail-rich acoustics through enhanced sound control and superior high sound output. At the heart of the system lies a high-performance 8-Channel, class-D amplifier pumping out 576 equivalent watts of power. The amplifier works to efficiently distribute clean audio signals to the vehicle’s 12-speaker sound system - including a dedicated center channel speaker and subwoofer. Harman’s Clari-Fi Technology restores and corrects audio fidelity, resulting in musical reproduction that sounds clearer, crisper and more dynamic.

Outback Touring

The 2020 Outback Touring offers a new level of sophisticated style and refined comfort. It features an exclusive Java Brown Nappa Leather interior along with helpful upgrades that make every drive more enjoyable and relaxing.
